Pentagon map for Jade Helm 15
COGwriter
The Pentagon has a geographically massive military exercise called Jade Helm 15 which begins today:
July 15, 2015
It’s here.
Operation Jade Helm 15, the military training exercise that captured the fancy of conspiracy theorists earlier this year, begins Wednesday in a dozen Texas counties and across the Southwest. It will continue through the summer.
The launch comes about two months after what the military describes as a benign training exercise became an international sensation, spurred by speculation that it is the beginning of a federal takeover, perhaps with the help of a string of mysteriously closed Wal-Marts. The anxieties seemed to reach a boiling point in April at a meeting of the Bastrop County Commissioners Court, where a military spokesman was peppered with questions about the operation’s true purpose. http://www.texastribune.org/2015/07/15/operation-jade-helm-15-gets-underway-texas/
Jade Helm has had some concerned:
Jade Helm 15 is a planned United States military training exercise that is scheduled to take place over multiple states in the US from July 15 through September 15, 2015. It will involve U.S. Army Special Operations Command (SOC) with other U.S Armed Forces units in a multi-state exercise that includes Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah and Colorado. The SOC claimed, “the size and scope of Jade Helm sets this one apart” from previous training exercises.
The planned exercise is unusual in that it attracted the interest of commentators, conspiracy theorists and politicians about the prospect of martial law in the region. The Austin American-Statesman newspaper noted that after plans and maps of the exercise were made public, there was an “explosion of outrage on social media after the release of the map, which labeled Texas, Utah and the southern tip of California as ‘hostile.'” There was also speculation that shuttered Walmart stores would be used for “guerrilla-warfare staging areas and FEMA processing camps.”
On April 28, Texas governor Greg Abbott ordered the Texas State Guard to monitor the operation, declaring, “During the training operation, it is important that Texans know their safety, constitutional rights, private property right and civil liberties will not be infringed.” (Jade Helm 15, Wikipedia, accessed 05/04/15)
If you haven’t heard about Jade Helm 15, you need to. It is multi-state training mission for special operations soldiers scheduled over an eight-week period in July and August, with most of the activity happening on private property but some public, too. The official website press release from March 24 admits: “While multi-state training exercises such as these are not unique to the military, the size and scope of Jade Helm sets this one apart.”
Gov. Abbot was right in writing Maj. Gen. Gerald Betty, “During the training operation, it is important that Texans know their safety, constitutional rights, private property rights and civil liberties will not be infringed.” Abbott is demanding “regular updates on the progress and safety of the Operation.”
Concerned Texans and Americans are in no way calling into question our brave and courageous men and women in uniform. They are merely following orders. What’s under question are those who are pulling the strings at the top of Jade Helm 15 back in Washington. The U.S. government says, “It’s just a training exercise.” But I’m not sure the term “just” has any reference to reality when the government uses it.
“Well, I’m not trusting what we’re being told,” said Mike Hightower, an affable antique store owner and real-estate agent in the very small town of Smithville, Texas, where some Jade Helm 15 exercises will take place. He added, “I think there’s something a little more involved than what they’re telling us.”
If Washington wants to cool the embers of controversy, then it should quit stoking the fire, as with the posting of a map of Jade Helm 15 “just” exercises that label some areas of the country, including Texas, as “hostile,” according to KHOU 11 News in Houston and verified by the Washington Post.
I have an idea: If the government insists on running expanded military ops across seven Southwest states, why doesn’t it move all that “military training” south and protect our borders at the same time?!
Whatever Jade Helm 15 actually is, I think it is more than coincidental that the FBI director just confessed in February that the presence of ISIS can be felt in all 50 states of the U.S. and that the Pentagon is suddenly running its biggest military training exercise with every branch of the military across seven Southwestern states. …
Basically, Texans (and others) are concerned that the Pentagon designated all of Texas and Utah (plus a small part of California) as ‘hostile’ to government plans. Many Texans believe that their more ‘independent’ spirit is considered a negative by the government in Washington, D.C. and that this exercise proves it.
Got some religious spam a couple of days ago indicating that the time to flee per Jesus’ word’s in Matthew 24:15 could be July 27, 2015 based on the following:
All three have a current focus; the third may point to July 27.
1. “The day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. For when they say, ‘Peace and safety’ then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman.” The apostle Paul’s warning echoes the destruction that fell on Egypt as it birthed Israel– they fled the next day. 1Thess 5:2,3.
With six nations ending years of concern and negotiation in an agreement for Iran to have nuclear power, it is “Peace and safety.” The deadline for agreement has been extended. Many leaders believe Iran is not to be trusted and the US is betraying Israel, our only real ally in the Middle East to favor a militant Islamic Iran, formerly Persia. Persia conquered Babylon and now we have “hundreds of links to terror group [ISIS] across 50 states.”
.
2. “When you see the abomination that causes desolation standing where it does not belong…flee.” Early Christians understood Christ’s warning to mean military, and when the Roman army came, they fled Jerusalem and were spared the siege when Titus brought destruction.
July 15, the US has a military operation “where it does not belong.” The Posse Comitatus Act forbids use of military in the US against civilians It’s called JADE HELM which means
“Homeland Eradication of Local Militants.” Christians could soon find themselves trapped in the cities under martial law, or in a FEMA camp if they don’t heed Christ’s warning.
The FEMA camps came from REX 84 (31 years ago) to deal with illegal aliens. Now they are ok with aliens, but the camps may be used for “dometic terrorists” that the government says includes Bible prophecy believers who oppose a New World Order.
3. The Supreme Court approval of same-sex marriage is the 3rd “when-then” sign to flee the cities and it may point to July 27
This is nonsense and nonbiblical and I so told the one who sent it (the sender, of course, does not think he was sending religious spam, but a warning–but it is a false warning–thus it is religious spam). This is NOT going to be the time to flee. Jade Helm is NOT the abomination of desolation. More on the time to flee can be found in the article When Will the Great Tribulation Begin? More on the place to flee can be found in the article There is a Place of Safety for the Philadelphians. Why it May Be Petra.
Some people have indicated that Jade Helm is mainly just called an exercise, but that the federal government is really about to take over land (here is a video about a coming captivity: Jade Helm, Captivity, and Prophecy).
Here are some comments from some that are concerned, as well as dismissive, about Jade Helm:
With talk of Jade Helm blowing up across the Internet and the US military pushing back against what they call “conspiracy theorists,” the statements below by Roy Potter, a former a 28 year veteran of the U.S. Army, ranked Lt. Colonel, who served in in various Military Police and Military Intelligence positions across the world, are a must hear as he tells listeners they had better “wake up quickly.”
Potter highlights the Jade Helm training exercises scheduled to take place in multiple states, specifically listing two of those states as “hostile,”and he points out this operation is “unprecedented and dangerous,” detailing the critical difference between a training exercise geared for civil disobedience and and exercise listing “unconventional warfare,” to “take over those states militarily,” which is what Jade Helm is listed as.
NOTE– Two of the states listed as “hostile” in the Jade Helm operation are Texas and Utah, both, according to this report from December 2014, are listed as two of the top seven states with the most “gun friendly regulations.”
Coincidence?
Potter states that “when your government starts to consider you a threat, one of two things have happened….. either you have gone astray, or they have gone astray.” Potter continues on to say that he can “guarantee that anybody who stands up with the constitution, with the idea of individual liberty, should not be the enemy of this government unless the government has gone bad.” (http://allnewspipeline.com/Lt_Col_Jade_Helm_Unprecedented_Dangerous.php)
If Obama really WAS plotting to seize military control of the heart of Red America, what would his henchmen at the Pentagon be telling us? … consider the mysterious closings of Wal-Mart stores and Caterpillar distribution centers in areas that would be perfect as military staging areas and as holding facilities for thousands of U.S. civilians taken captive by Obama. …
Note that Texas and Utah, both of which voted overwhelmingly against the Kenyan Usurper, are labeled “hostile”, while Obama-supporting California and Colorado are “permissive.” Coincidence? It would be wild speculation to think it was merely that.
The good news is that thanks to modern-day Paul Reveres, the patriots have been alerted. One alert American even figured out the code and passed it on to the OathKeepers: “Jade Helm. Jade is blue. Helm is German for helmet. Blue Helmet. UN blue helmets?” http://jaybookman.blog.ajc.com/2015/05/05/jade-helm-jade-is-blue-helm-is-german-for-helmet-blue-helmet-un-blue-helmets/
Louie Gohmert Gets Why Some Texans Are Worried About a Military Takeover
The Texas congressman is joining others in his state calling for the Pentagon to alter the Jade Helm 15 military exercises
“Over the past few weeks, my office has been inundated with calls referring to the Jade Helm 15 military exercise scheduled to take place between July 15 and September 15, 2015,” Gohmert said in a statement… “This military practice has some concerned that the U.S. Army is preparing for modern-day martial law. Certainly, I can understand these concerns.”
“When leaders within the current administration believe that major threats to the country include those who support the Constitution, are military veterans, or even ‘cling to guns or religion,’ patriotic Americans have reason to be concerned,” Gohmert wrote.
The congressman took particular issue with the layout and labels of the Pentagon map for the exercise. “Once I observed the map depicting ‘hostile,’ ‘permissive,’ and ‘uncertain’ states and locations, I was rather appalled that the hostile areas amazingly have a Republican majority, ‘cling to their guns and religion,’ and believe in the sanctity of the United States Constitution.” Gohmert called on the Pentagon to change the map, the names on the map, and said “the tone of the exercise needs to be completely revamped so the federal government is not intentionally practicing war against its own states.” http://www.nationaljournal.com/congress/louie-gohmert-gets-why-some-texans-are-worried-about-a-military-takeover-20150505
“Jade Helm is a long planned and coordinated exercise,” Pentagon spokesman, Col. Steve Warren said. “We are not taking over anything.”
But that’s not stopping websites like the Oath Keepers’ which says, “The Internet is abuzz with speculation these exercises are not designed to prepare U.S. troops for overseas operations, but are actually designed to prepare U.S. troops for aggressive operations against American citizenry.”
Special Operations Forces officials told CNN troops often train in local areas in the U.S. with the permission of public and private landowners because it provide a realistic environment for overseas operations. And the training scenarios are made as realistic as possible with “friendly” and “enemy” territory. But in a statement explaining Jade Helm, the U.S. Army Special Operations Command said, “The size and scope of Jade Helm sets this one apart.”
There will be about 1,200 troops in Jade Helm, mainly Army Green Berets, but also a small group of Navy SEALS and Air Force special operations troops as well as conventional Army infantry. http://www.cnn.com/2015/05/04/politics/pentagon-texas-jade-helm-15-takeover/
Since Gen. Sam Houston executed his famous retreat to glory to defeat the superior forces of Gen. Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, Texas has been ground zero for military training. We have so many military bases in the Lone Star State we could practically attack Russia.
So when rookie Texas Gov. Greg Abbott announced he was ordering the Texas State Guard to monitor a Navy SEAL/Green Beret joint training exercise, which was taking place in Texas and several other states, everybody here looked up from their iPhones. What?
It seems there is concern among some folks that this so-called training maneuver is just a cover story. What’s really going on? President Obama is about to use Special Forces to put Texas under martial law. http://www.npr.org/blogs/itsallpolitics/2015/05/02/403865824/texas-governor-deploys-state-guard-to-stave-off-obama-takeover
The Pentagon wants to make it clear: No one is messing with you, Texas.
Defense officials are swatting down Internet-fueled rumors about a training exercise planned for this summer in the Southwest U.S. involving four branches of the military. According to the Pentagon, the exercise — called Operation Jade Helm 15— is meant to simulate covert military operations in “hostile” territory in Texas, Utah and part of southern California.
Some conspiracy theorists have postulated that the exercise is a ruse to institute martial law, possibly involving underground tunnels and five recently closed Wal-Mart stores.
“Jade Helm and Walmart are inextricably linked and the existing evidence suggests one of two possible end game probabilities for Jade Helm,” radio host Dave Hodges posted on his show’s website on April 30.
“1. Converted Wal-Mart stores will be processing centers for FEMA camp political prisoners,” he continued. “2. Some Walmarts will be used as supply and staging centers for an internal conflict within the United States.” http://www.politico.com/story/2015/05/jade-helm-15-texas-military-takeover-conspiracy-117636.html#ixzz3ZI9tOQYQ
Obama’s call back in 2008 for a “civilian national security force.” was nothing more than one social plank in his transformation agenda.
Can the connection be made that the ‘Jade Helm’ exercises that’s been in the news so much lately be a supporting factor and evidence the DHS is building a de facto domestic military, with the purchase of military-grade equipment and the execution of military-style training exercises? http://www.politicalpolygon.com/do-we-need-a-national-civilian-security-force-obama-sharpton-thinks-so/2/
Note: Jade is naturally green, not really blue.
While there could be issues associated with Jade Helm, notice what the Bible teaches:
12 “Do not say, ‘A conspiracy,’
Concerning all that this people call a conspiracy,
Nor be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled.
13 The Lord of hosts, Him you shall hallow;
Let Him be your fear,
And let Him be your dread.
14 He will be as a sanctuary,
But a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense
To both the houses of Israel,
As a trap and a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
15 And many among them shall stumble;
They shall fall and be broken,
Be snared and taken.”
16 Bind up the testimony,
Seal the law among my disciples.
17 And I will wait on the Lord,
Who hides His face from the house of Jacob;
And I will hope in Him.
18 Here am I and the children whom the Lord has given me!
We are for signs and wonders in Israel
From the Lord of hosts,
Who dwells in Mount Zion. (Isaiah 8:12-18)
This is teaching that problems will come to the USA (Jacob placed his name on the primary progenitor of the USA, Manasseh in Genesis 48:13-16), but that those in the true Church, called those who dwell in Mount Zion above, should place their confidence in God.
As far as Jade Helm goes, here are some comments from the US Army Special Operations Command website:
Members of U.S. Army Special Operations Command will train with other U.S Armed Forces units July 15 through Sept. 15 in a multi-state exercise called Jade Helm 15.
USASOC periodically conducts training exercises such as these to practice core special warfare tasks, which help protect the nation against foreign enemies. It is imperative that Special Operations Soldiers receive the best training, equipment and resources possible.
While multi-state training exercises such as these are not unique to the military, the size and scope of Jade Helm sets this one apart. To stay ahead of the environmental challenges faced overseas, Jade Helm will take place across seven states. However, Army Special Operations Forces (ARSOF) will only train in five states: Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah and Colorado. The diverse terrain in these states replicates areas Special Operations Soldiers regularly find themselves operating in overseas.
The training exercise will be conducted on private and public land with the permission of the private landowners, and from state and local authorities. In essence, all exercise activity will be taking place on pre-coordinated public and private lands.
The public can expect nothing much different from their day-to-day activities since much of exercise will be conducted in remote areas. The most noticeable effect the exercise may have on the local communities is an increase in vehicle and military air traffic and its associated noise. There will also be economic gain: an increase in the local economy, in fuel and food purchases and hotel lodging.
This exercise is routine training to maintain a high level of readiness for ARSOF since they must be ready to support potential missions anywhere in the world at a moment’s notice.
During this eight-week period, ARSOF soldiers will use this opportunity to further develop tactics, techniques and procedures for emerging concepts in Special Operations warfare.
USASOC intends to conduct the exercise safely and courteously while providing the best possible training available for the nation’s Army Special Operations Forces. State and local officials are being informed of the scope of Jade Helm and will continue to be updated as the exercise progresses. http://www.soc.mil/UNS/Releases/2015/March/150324-03.html
So, what is the truth about Jade Helm 15?
The truth is that the US military is holding a massive training exercise in which it designated a couple of states as hostile. The truth is that I do not believe it is the intent of Jade Helm 15 to actually takeover those states, like Texas, this Summer.
Another truth is that we are also seeing an increased militarization of local police forces across the USA. This has many concerned. And yes, I do believe that the USA is preparing for civil unrest, martial law, and possible civil war. And yes, I believe that massive civil unrest and fighting will come to the USA.
What about Americans taken captive?
The biblical reality is that the USA will one day be taken over (but not in 2015) and many of its people made slaves: a captivity is coming (watch Jade Helm, Captivity, and Prophecy). And this will also affect Canadians, as well as those in the UK, Australia, and New Zealand.
But, while there likely will be many US traitors, it is not the USA that is prophesied to do this. Notice:
43 The alien who is among you shall rise higher and higher above you, and you shall come down lower and lower. 44 He shall lend to you, but you shall not lend to him; he shall be the head, and you shall be the tail. 45 Moreover all these curses shall come upon you and pursue and overtake you, until you are destroyed…47 “Because you did not serve the LORD your God with joy and gladness of heart, for the abundance of everything, 48 therefore you shall serve your enemies, whom the LORD will send against you, in hunger, in thirst, in nakedness, and in need of everything; and He will put a yoke of iron on your neck until He has destroyed you. 49 The LORD will bring a nation against you from afar, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flies, a nation whose language you will not understand, 50 a nation of fierce countenance, which does not respect the elderly nor show favor to the young. 51 And they shall eat the increase of your livestock and the produce of your land, until you are destroyed; they shall not leave you grain or new wine or oil, or the increase of your cattle or the offspring of your flocks, until they have destroyed you. 52 They shall besiege you at all your gates until your high and fortified walls, in which you trust, come down throughout all your land; and they shall besiege you at all your gates throughout all your land which the LORD your God has given you (Deuteronomy 28:42-45,47-52).
13 And the Lord said, “Because they have forsaken My law which I set before them, and have not obeyed My voice, nor walked according to it, 14 but they have walked according to the dictates of their own hearts and after the Baals, which their fathers taught them,” 15 therefore thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: “Behold, I will feed them, this people, with wormwood, and give them water of gall to drink. 16 I will scatter them also among the Gentiles, whom neither they nor their fathers have known. And I will send a sword after them until I have consumed them.” (Jeremiah 9:13-16)
Since Americans basically speak English and is a power which does not have English as its native language that will takeover, the takeover that will ultimately happen will not be by USA forces.
Notice also:
1 Come down and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon; Sit on the ground without a throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans! For you shall no more be called Tender and delicate. 2 Take the millstones and grind meal. Remove your veil, Take off the skirt, Uncover the thigh, Pass through the rivers. 3 Your nakedness shall be uncovered, Yes, your shame will be seen; I will take vengeance, And I will not arbitrate with a man.” 4 As for our Redeemer, the Lord of hosts is His name, The Holy One of Israel. 5 “Sit in silence, and go into darkness,O daughter of the Chaldeans; For you shall no longer be called The Lady of Kingdoms. 6 I was angry with My people; I have profaned My inheritance, And given them into your hand. You showed them no mercy; On the elderly you laid your yoke very heavily…12 Stand now with your enchantments And the multitude of your sorceries…(Isaiah 47:1-6,12)
In Isaiah 47:7-8 this “virgin daughter of Babylon” of Babylon makes a nearly identical statement that the harlot Babylon does in Revelation 18:7. This is the same power. And the “yoke” that is being laid heavily appears to include slavery.
Thus, the scatterer, with help the help of a sorcery-involved daughter of the Chaldeans, is also called the “daughter” of ancient Babylon ( Jeremiah 50:41-42). This would seem to be an arrangement between a European empire and a mystical religion. The beast and false prophet of Revelation 13 (with the beast being the same person as the final King of the North in Daniel 11:39-44) are the ones that will help scatter the disobedient Israelites (though they will be punished later themselves, cf. Revelation 19:20). Remember that signs and lying wonders will be part of the Beast/Antichrist power (2 Thessalonians 2:9-12).
And the situation will be worse for the USA than what many who are worried about Jade Helm 15 believe.
21 For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. (Matthew 24:21).
4 We pay for the water we drink, And our wood comes at a price. 5 They pursue at our heels; We labor and have no rest. 6 We have given our hand to the Egyptians And the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread. 7 Our fathers sinned and are no more, But we bear their iniquities. 8 Servants rule over us; There is none to deliver us from their hand”. (Lamentations 5:4-8)
They will be so hungry, that “Ephraim…shall eat unclean things in Assyria” (Hosea 9:3).
How do we know from the Bible that many of these prophecies apply to the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and/or New Zealand?
Because Israel (Jacob) specifically taught that the descendants of Ephraim and Manasseh should be named after his name:
13 And Joseph took them both, Ephraim with his right hand toward Israel’s left hand, and Manasseh with his left hand toward Israel’s right hand, and brought them near him. 14 Then Israel stretched out his right hand and laid it on Ephraim’s head, who was the younger, and his left hand on Manasseh’s head, guiding his hands knowingly, for Manasseh was the firstborn. 15 And he blessed Joseph, and said:
“God, before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked, The God who has fed me all my life long to this day, 16 The Angel who has redeemed me from all evil, Bless the lads; Let my name be named upon them…(Genesis 48:13-16).
Because of this, sometimes when the Bible uses the term Israel it can be referring to the descendants of Ephraim and Manasseh, and they include the Anglo-nations.
Notice a set of passages about people ruled by unrighteous leaders:
1 Woe to those who decree unrighteous decrees, Who write misfortune, Which they have prescribed 2 To rob the needy of justice, And to take what is right from the poor of My people, That widows may be their prey, And that they may rob the fatherless. 3 What will you do in the day of punishment, And in the desolation which will come from afar? To whom will you flee for help? And where will you leave your glory? 4 Without Me they shall bow down among the prisoners, And they shall fall among the slain.” For all this His anger is not turned away, But His hand is stretched out still. (Isaiah 10:1-4)
Certain court decisions related to abortion, the homosexual agenda, and other matters in the USA certainly would biblically be considered to be unrighteous decrees.
Now notice that this leads into according to passages in Isaiah and Ezekiel:
5 “Woe to Assyria, the rod of My anger
And the staff in whose hand is My indignation.
6 I will send him against an ungodly nation,
And against the people of My wrath
I will give him charge,
To seize the spoil, to take the prey,
And to tread them down like the mire of the streets.
7 Yet he does not mean so,
Nor does his heart think so;
But it is in his heart to destroy,
And cut off not a few nations.
8 For he says,
‘Are not my princes altogether kings?
9 Is not Calno like Carchemish?
Is not Hamath like Arpad?
Is not Samaria like Damascus?
10 As my hand has found the kingdoms of the idols,
Whose carved images excelled those of Jerusalem and Samaria,
11 As I have done to Samaria and her idols,
Shall I not do also to Jerusalem and her idols?'”
12 Therefore it shall come to pass, when the LORD has performed all His work on Mount Zion and on Jerusalem, that He will say, “I will punish the fruit of the arrogant heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his haughty looks.” (Isaiah 10:5-12)
4… Samaria … 9 “Therefore I have delivered her Into the hand of her lovers, Into the hand of the Assyrians, For whom she lusted. 10 They uncovered her nakedness, Took away her sons and daughters, And slew her with the sword; She became a byword among women, For they had executed judgment on her. (Ezekiel 23:4,9-10)
Notice that Samaria’s Assyrian allies will destroy her. Also notice that the Assyrian does not really intend to do it (verse Isaiah 10:7), but will end up taking over nations anyway. It may be of interest to realize that the third century Catholic theologian and bishop Hippolytus (Hippolytus. On the Antichrist, Chapters 16, 57) tied in Assur/Assyria as apparently being the King of North based upon this and another passage in Isaiah–the Catholic doctor and saint Jerome seems to have concurred, and tied Assyria/Assur in with Germany and others in Europe (Jerome. Letter CXXIII to Ageruchia, Chapter 16). (More on the Assyrian ties to Germany can be found in the article Germany’s Assyrian Roots Throughout History.) As far as end time Samaria goes, this seems like it could be an ethnically-mixed people, perhaps the USA itself which has a lot of both Israelite and Gentile as well as mixed people. Bible prophecy seems to tie the descendants of Manasseh as being prophetic Samaria in certain scriptures (cf. Isaiah 9:8-21).
And while various people will claim that the Europeans are the friends and allies of America and Britain, notice the following:
1 How lonely sits the city
That was full of people!
How like a widow is she,
Who was great among the nations!
The princess among the provinces
Has become a slave!
2 She weeps bitterly in the night,
Her tears are on her cheeks;
Among all her lovers
She has none to comfort her.
All her friends have dealt treacherously with her;
They have become her enemies. (Lamentations 1:1-2)
The USA and Great Britain (including its Anglo-Commonwealth members, like Australia and Canada) were “great among the nations.” And the Bible is clear that betrayal is coming from national FRIENDS!
16 Samaria shall become desolate; for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up. (Hosea 13:16, KJV)
How do we know that the Anglo-nations in general, and the USA in particular, and not just the land of Judea are the target of some of the punishments? Well, other than the reference to Samaria above (which was not part of Judea), another reason is found in Daniel 11:39:
39 Thus he shall act against the strongest fortresses with a foreign god, which he shall acknowledge, and advance its glory; and he shall cause them to rule over many, and divide the land for gain. (Daniel 11:39)
The “he” is the final European King of the North, the Beast of Revelation 13. The “strongest fortresses” in the world belong to the USA, and to a lessor degree, its Anglo-allies. The current nation of Israel does not have the strongest fortresses. And dividing the Anglo-lands would bring much more gain, than the land of Judea (see also Will the Anglo-Nations be Divided?). As many Bible commentators realize, at the time of the end there is no power that resembles the USA. Isaiah warns that “The fortress also will cease from Ephraim” (Isaiah 17:3)–but unlike Manasseh, Ephraim simply does not have the strongest fortresses. Some would call this attack World War III (WWIII; see also World War III: Steps in Progress).
Consider that captivity is also tied in with the lands being divided:
16 The anger of the LORD hath divided them; he will no more regard them (Lamentations 4:16, KJV).
2 And I will enter into judgment with them there On account of My people, My heritage Israel, Whom they have scattered among the nations; They have also divided up My land. They have also cast lots for my people…(Joel 3:2-3, NKJV).
How will the Europeans be able to do this? For years, I have believed it would be because of technological advances as well as the USA trusting Europe too much. And Europe has made great strides in areas of military technology that relatively few seem to realize. For details, see European Technology and the Beast of Revelation as well as a related YouTube video titled Military Technology and the Beast of Revelation.
Notice also some passages that Hosea and Amos were inspired to write:
9 O Israel, you have sinned..13 You have plowed wickedness; You have reaped iniquity. You have eaten the fruit of lies, Because you trusted in your own way, In the multitude of your mighty men. 14 Therefore tumult shall arise among your people, And all your fortresses shall be plundered. (Hosea 10:9,13-14)
6 Seek the Lord and live, Lest He break out like fire in the house of Joseph, And devour it…The Lord is His name. 9 He rains ruin upon the strong, So that fury comes upon the fortress. (Amos 5:6,8-9)
10 All the sinners of My people shall die by the sword, Who say, ‘The calamity shall not overtake nor confront us.’ (Amos 9:10)
Hillary Rodham Clinton, and other American politicians, have made statements that seem similar to the one in at the end of Amos 9:10.
People who have faith that the USA will continue and get through all of this should ask themselves, “Why?”
They also may wish to ask themselves since the Bible talks about end time kings of the north (Daniel 11:40), south (Daniel 11:40), and east (Revelation 16:12), why does it not mention an end time “king of the west”–the USA is west of Jerusalem (see also Who is the King of the West?)? The fact that the King of the North eliminates those with the strongest fortresses (Daniel 11:39) should be a clue.
As far as captivity coming, there are numerous additional Bible prophecies about that. Here are some:
1 “And you, son of man, take a sharp sword, take it as a barber’s razor, and pass it over your head and your beard; then take scales to weigh and divide the hair. 2 You shall burn with fire one-third in the midst of the city, when the days of the siege are finished; then you shall take one-third and strike around it with the sword, and one-third you shall scatter in the wind: I will draw out a sword after them…12 One-third of you shall die of the pestilence, and be consumed with famine in your midst; and one-third shall fall by the sword all around you; and I will scatter another third to all the winds, and I will draw out a sword after them…8 Yet I will leave a remnant, so that you may have some who escape the sword among the nations, when you are scattered through the countries. (Ezekiel 5:1-2,12; 6:8).
13 “Behold, therefore, I beat My fists at the dishonest profit which you have made, and at the bloodshed which has been in your midst. 14 Can your heart endure, or can your hands remain strong, in the days when I shall deal with you? I, the Lord, have spoken, and will do it. 15 I will scatter you among the nations, disperse you throughout the countries, and remove your filthiness completely from you. (Ezekiel 22:13-15)
By having massive debt that they will not pay back, the peoples of the USA and UK make a “dishonest profit” and they will be scattered among nations and countries–via “all the winds.” Following “all the winds” means that not all will end up in the same place.
God says if those of Israel and Ephraim do not listen and obey Him, they will have their cities destroyed and be scattered:
27 ‘And after all this, if you do not obey Me, but walk contrary to Me,
28 then I also will walk contrary to you in fury;
and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins.
29 You shall eat the flesh of your sons, and you shall eat the flesh of your daughters.
30 I will destroy your high places, cut down your incense altars, and cast your carcasses on the lifeless forms of your idols;
and My soul shall abhor you.
31 I will lay your cities waste and bring your sanctuaries to desolation, and I will not smell the fragrance of your sweet aromas.
32 I will bring the land to desolation, and your enemies who dwell in it shall be astonished at it.
33 I will scatter you among the nations and draw out a sword after you;
your land shall be desolate and your cities waste. (Leviticus 26:27-33)
16 Ephraim is stricken, Their root is dried up; They shall bear no fruit…
17 My God will cast them away, Because they did not obey Him; And they shall be wanderers among the nations. (Hosea 9:16-17)
Their lands will be uprooted (which means the survivors will end up somewhere else). More information on that can be found in the article Will the Anglo-Saxon Nations be Divided and Have People Taken as Slaves?
The truth about Jade Helm 15 is that it is a large-scale militaristic operation that has concerned many (watch also Jade Helm, Captivity, and Prophecy). But the biblical truth is that irrespective of what actions the military of the USA may take then or later, the time will come when the USA will be taken over. It will be taken over by a hostile power that speaks something other than English as its native language.
This takeover will eliminate the United States of America, and ultimately its British-descended allies, like the UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.

Anglo – America in Prophecy & the Lost Tribes of Israel Are the Americans, Canadians, English, Scottish, Welsh, Australians, Anglo-Saxon (non-Dutch) Southern Africans, and New Zealanders descendants of Joseph? Where are the lost ten-tribes of Israel? Who are the lost tribes of Israel? What will happen to Jerusalem and the Jews in Israel? Will God punish the U.S.A., Canada, United Kingdom, and other Anglo-Saxon nations? Why might God allow them to be punished first?

Here is a link to a video titled Will the USA and other Anglo-nations be Divided and Their People Made Slaves? Here is a related item in the Spanish language ¿Serán divididas las naciones anglosajonas?
Does God Have a 6,000 Year Plan? What Year Does the 6,000 Years End?
